how many of you are straight or gay

[Mr. Incapable]

I used to think I was bisexual.. then gay.. but now I define my sexuality as asexual bi-romantic because I've always felt romantic and emotional attraction to both sexes, but as soon as things turn intimate I lose all or any desire or sexual interest. If I had the choice, I would rather not be asexual but that's just the way my mind and body works

*shrugs*

 

[Graham]

I'm 'Straight' if that's even a usable term anymore?

Implies everything else is bent

Jokes aside

I don't care on people's sexual preferences

We're all humans x

 

[BEATNGU]

Being gay sure is fun. My favorite part was being one of the only two gay guys in my hometown and being the biggest guy to boot. Had to learn how to fight real quick like and get used to hearing the words "Hey, faggot!" alot. Also had to drive it through many people's heads that just because I am gay does not mean I will just date anyone that is as well. I have standards and desires too.

 

[jimmy7754]

I'm a muppet

 

[nightnightnitrite]

Straight but adopted by gays so still cultured:D

 

[Superdeterminist]

I'm surprised by how many respondents are gay, but maybe I shouldn't be.

 

[Lawliet]

You're going to get a varied answer but it makes me wonder your motive. Are YOU gay or straight? Or any of the other options for sexuality? What about cisgender, non-binary, or transgender?

Nobody choose to be these things, and it absolutely marginalizes you and makes you more susceptible to mental health issues because so many people are bigoted. I'm bisexual and that's not a problem for me, but growing up in a religious household did.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I'm sure statistics already bear it out that gays, as a percentage of total gays, have a higher suicide rate than that of the straight population. Is it any wonder the way we straights treat them? It seems that there always has to be some group of people that need to be bullied and ostracized, just made to feel inferior and given a hard time in general and driven to suicide. When we're done with one group, we choose another. Most ( I said most, not all) overt acts against blacks has been eliminated and it seems that another minority group was needed to replace them. Just part of the sorry ass world we live in. Transgenders have it just as bad, maybe even worse.

 

[Deformationalplagio]

percentage wise only about 7 percent of the population is gay in the uk, so you would expect a poll like this to show a 90 percent being straight and only 10 percent being gay.

7? Thats quite alot i think it much much less

 

[l0stc4use]

i always say i'm bisexual but i think i'm a lesbian in denial lol so i put gay

Damn thats a lot thats almost 1 in 10 persons. I have only known 10 in my whole life o.o

 

[FuneralCry]

Neither. There is nothing attractive about human beings. People do not interest me, they only tire me instead. I always see it as best to be alone.

I think a lot of people probably feel more comfortable filling out a survey anonymously to say if they're gay or bi than being public about it. Even though being LGBT is more acceptable these days, there's still a lot of harassment and bullying from people who don't like or understand it.. or people from religious or conservative backgrounds who dont agree with your lifestyle and shun you because of it. It's just safer and easier to live privately, especially when you live outside of a main city. I was walking down the street a few days ago and some guy on a bike shouted at me saying "look at that faggot" - I'm asexual biromantic but people weaponise sexuality, especially being gay, to insult or harass people. Personally, I think the number is probably a lot higher but many people aren't comfortable enough to admit or accept it, even to themselves sometimes

 

[Symbiote]

I'm robosexual....I only mate with androids and AI sentient beings.

 

[Anonymus]

Heterosexual but with no interest in having sex.

 

[JinZhin]

I literally don't want to get out of closet because I'm very likely asexual

 

[ge0rge]

cock

 

[Zerengin96]

pretty much asexual at this stage of my depression, but used to be straight

 

[8evergo]

i don't let myself be pigeonholed and i think i love it when i want to no matter what gender i find the female gender divine and beautiful genders are also divine in between
Love doesn't know a box so I guess it just comes

I wonder what i am to be honest i have no feelings towards men but i used to dress up quite girly and did make up and colored my hair before i lost my hair. I think its one of the reasons im having a hard time to cope with how i look like now i have facial and skull deformity. I just cant look girly anymore.

 

[TheLastFemaphrodyke]

How can a hermaphrodite that likes both sexes answer that?

I used to think I was bisexual.. then gay.. but now I define my sexuality as asexual bi-romantic because I've always felt romantic and emotional attraction to both sexes, but as soon as things turn intimate I lose all or any desire or sexual interest. If I had the choice, I would rather not be asexual but that's just the way my mind and body works

*shrugs*

me too!

 

[wellherewego]

This bi erasure will not stand lol

 

[Graham]

I'm a muppet

Me too

 

[RacShade]

I am a closeted trans lesbian so idk if it counts but yeah can confirm how much this sucks

 

[Smart No More]

What's really perplexing to me is that we live in a period where gayness is celebrated and is growing 'popularity' in the public eye....Racial differences too but we're also paradoxically in a period where these issues have never been so addressed publicly. Its like just as things are getting to their ideal standing they're also being challenged as otherwise which creates an unusual situation. It's almost like the scales could tip in the wrong direction with the momentum they've gained. By wrong direction I just mean unbalanced.

Obviously people have experienced past trauma on these fronts and the damage as been somewhat done in those cases but now is a time for them to shrug it off and embrace things as they have become but I fear they could get caught up in their search for redemption that they forget to smell the roses so to speak.

Is this a controversial view?

For what it's worth I'm neither a 'gay basher' nor racist. I think it's harder for people that aren't oppressive or predjucial to assume the worst in others on that front because to people like me there isn't an instinct to be that way and we judge others by the understanding we have of ourselves. It is a weakness in a way because you assume the best in the worst of people. Ass holes assume everyone is the same and therefore are armed in preparation whereas people that aren't like that are unarmed and end up realising too late.

But yeah, LGBTQ is massive in the world I see around me. As is mixed culture. Can't we all just get along?*




Fully aware of my naivety. :)
